PURSUING HAPPINESS

N_I_N_E

"Becca!" I squeaked when I turned around facing an angry Rebbecca. Her brown eyes clearly filled anger as her light brown skin turn red "It's not what it looks like."

"What was I thinking, coming to you about my relationship problems, when the first thing you do is fuck my boyfriend after we had a misunderstanding!" she screamed at me.

"First off, don't blame me for your problems and second we didn't fuck." I defended myself.

"Sure looks like it" she scoffed walking out and Peter running after her.

"Would you please let me explain?" he pleaded.

"What is there to explain?," she asked "That the first thing you do when we have a minor set back you go and fuck my friends?"

"Don't jump to conclusions now, Like she said we didn't fuck" he raised his voice at her "You had this coming."

"I had this coming, I was trying to explain to you that what happened between me and Elliot was a mistake" she screamed louder this time "But clearly you wanted to get back at me for something that wasn't partly my fault." she pointed between the two if us.

"Don't say something you'll regret later" I warned her.

"I already regret for coming here and being a good friend to you" she implied with a lot of anger "You know what, everything that has happened in your past, you deserve it, you little spoiled brat."

When those last three words left her mouth, I smacked her across the face "That's enough, I had enough of this behaviour of yours," I screamed at her "You want to know why I let Peter kiss me, because before you moved to this town he was all mine and I stupidly let those feelings return when he showed up here drunk telling me what you did."

"Rose calm done." Peter moved behind me rubbing my shoulders.

"No," I brushed him off "What happened to me in the past wasn't your story to begin with, the only reason I told you was because Peter said I could trust you, don't let your relationship problems lead to my past because you will be sorry and I don't make empty promises."

"Rose, I think you should go change." Peter carefully said.

I don't know why I listened to Peter because I wasn't finish, she must be put in her place, she the one that caused everything since the beginning and I know it also my fault but Peter came to me and told me that they were on a brake. And who does she think she is coming here and insulting me I thought to myself as I plopped down on the bed.

"Babe, let me explain." I heard Peter through the door say.

"What is there to be explained, that you fucked one of my friends before?"

"What?," he shouted "Would you please stop jumping to conclusions and saying that me and Rose fucked."

She didn't say anything but he continued "All of that with Rose happened in the past-"

"What about tonight, what happened tonight she said it herself it was feelings returning back." she cut him off.

"In my defence you started it with Elliot, I have always seen the way you two look at each other." he protested "Let's put all this in the past and start again?"

"I think this is too much to be put in the past that easily."

"What do you mean?" he asked, I could hear the eagerness in his voice.

"It means that I am breaking up with you, Peter" she sighed "I think it is the best for the two of us."

He didn't say anything after that, after a while the front door opened and closed. Peter came in and took his shirt not sparing me a second glance and walk back to the living room because I didn't hear the front door open and close. All this made me exhausted, I decided to take another shower, this time a cold one.
